Colorado looked like one of the strongest teams all year, but they are not in the Final. Was this a collapse or just playoff hockey?

No sorry, if you dominate the regular season and disappear when it matters, fans have every right to call it a choke. At some point excuses get old.

Calling everything a choke is lazy. The playoffs are not a spreadsheet. One goalie gets hot, one line goes cold, one injury changes matchups, and suddenly a great team is out.

As an Avs fan, yes it feels like a choke. You do not get many seasons where the roster, points total, and expectations line up like that. Championship teams find a way through and this one hurts badly.
